Recommendation

Without the right strategies, most organizations will fail. But even the best strategies cannot succeed if your company’s culture doesn’t support them. Authors Jay B. Barney, Manoel Amorim, and Carlos Júlio explain that culture change hinges on story-building. Leaders aiming for a strategic culture shift must craft and share compelling stories with their employees – stories rooted in the new norms and values they wish to establish. Employees will then develop and share their own culture-change tales. The authors teach you how to create and communicate these stories in ways that jump start change.

Take-Aways

  • To change outmoded strategies, change your company’s culture.
  • Leaders must create and share culture-change stories.
  • Culture outweighs strategy.
